The Lady of the Shroud is a Gothic and Romance novel by Bram Stoker published by William Heinemann in London in 1909. It is an epistolary novel, narrated in the first person through letters and diary extracts from various characters, but mainly Rupert. The initial sections, leading up to the reading of the uncle's will, told by other characters, suggest that Rupert is the black sheep of the family. It is suggested that his uncle is testing his heir because of the condition he placed on the inheritance that he had to live in the castle in the Blue Mountains for a year before he can permanently inherit the unexpectedly large million-pound estate.
